Frieze London runs in The Regent's Park from 14 to 18 October 2026, but much of the week's most interesting digital art is happening throughout the city. This edition is for collectors following Frieze Week in London or from a distance: five digital artists, why they matter now, and how to follow their work. A collector's guide to digital art at Frieze Week, defined by artists who treat technology as material.
1. Lawrence Lek | View Artist Profile
Digital artist and filmmaker building speculative worlds with game engines, simulation and AI characters.
Lek is one of the clearest voices on Sinofuturism, using video game software to imagine how technology, labour and identity are projected onto China, and onto machines. Recent works such as NOX follow sentient self-driving cars through a rehabilitation centre, turning questions about AI into questions about care. During Frieze Week he performs live on the opening night of 3 Evenings, Somerset House Studios' tenth-anniversary programme in the spirit of 9 Evenings: Theatre and Engineering (1966), and speaks about Sinofuturism at a private evening hosted by Alex Estorick and Marlène Corbun of 1|2 at the Estorick Collection.

2. Xin Liu | View Artist Profile
Artist and engineer creating sculptures, films and digital experiences with machinery, genetic material and space flight.
Liu has led two payloads to the International Space Station and one on a sub-orbital flight, and is founding Arts Curator of the Space Exploration Initiative at MIT Media Lab. Her work uses engineering to ask small, grounded questions about how we live; last year she showed a kinetic duckweed tank in Focus at Frieze London 2025. This year she premieres a newly commissioned interactive installation at 3 Evenings, on view across all three nights.

3. OONA | View Artist Profile
Anonymous digital and performance artist working with surveillance and her own CCTV footage.
Since 2019, OONA has requested the CCTV footage captured of her on the London Underground, which became a seven-year correspondence with David, a Transport for London data manager, and the project Dear David: A Surveillance Love Story. On 16 October it ends with its eighth chapter, a live surveillance wedding where the audience are guests, witnesses and CCTV viewers at once, followed by a talk with Aleksandra Art, Head of Arts at Trilitech. The project is powered by Art on Tezos, so its story lives on chain as well as in the room.
Where to see the artist's work during Frieze London 2026: The Wedding of OONA & David, Shoreditch Arts Club, 16 October, part of Frieze Connect, presented by HERVISIONS, The Second-Guess and Shoreditch Arts Club.

4. Vera Molnar | View Artist Profile
Pioneer of computer and generative art (1924 to 2023).
Molnar wrote hand-simulated drawing systems before she had access to a computer, worked with plotters from 1968 and kept adapting to new tools into her late nineties, NFTs included.
Degrees of Disruption: Vera Molnar and Generative Art opens at the V&A on 16 October with more than 50 works by Molnar and contemporary practitioners. In a week focused on new work, this is the lineage, following her 2026 presentations at Kunstmuseum Basel and in Zero 10 at Art Basel.

5. Jessica Wilson | View Artist Profile
Emerging digital artist combining CG animation, custom software and sculpture built from everyday infrastructure.
Presented by diez (Amsterdam) in Focus, the fair's section of 35 emerging presentations, Wilson moves away from hyperreal CGI toward something awkward and tactile. Electrical outlets weep water, and repurposed New York taxi tops run custom software and real-time LED sequences (7G94, 2024; The Commute, 2025). Ordinary infrastructure stands in for anxiety, and the technology is left visible rather than polished away.
